To make this vision a reality, we assist and encourage people facing life’s challenges. PSS is a Charitable Trust and Southland’s largest social service and aged care provider. Our two service arms, Family Works and Enliven, provide a range of services in response to the changing needs of individuals and family/whānau in the wider community of Southland.
